Benjamin Pogrund

One of the most influential reporters during the Apartheid struggle, Benjamin Pogrund’s collection depicts his life through a series of photographs taken of his family and several important political moments of his career. Included are images of him at the Rand Daily Mail paper during a raid in 1970, photographs of Robert Sobukwe and Pogrund’s family relaxing together, and several appearances by Nelson Mandela during the final years of Apartheid. A slightly more personal look at his life is offered by family photos of his children, camp photos at Habonim, and later images of their travels around London.
